filing of a complaint. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman voiced her appreciation that a work session to discuss the recommendations in detail will be <br />scheduled. She questioned if the community will have an opportunity to respond to the report. City <br />Manager Taylor revealed that the report was on the EPD's Web site; additionally, action steps will include <br />more specific strategies for community involvement and outreach. Ms. Bettman encouraged the City <br />Manager to schedule a public hearing on the report during the month of April. The City Manager agreed to <br />this request. <br /> <br />Ms. Bettman voiced her approval that the upcoming strategic plan be overseen by an outside contractor and <br />endorsed the recommendation that the EPD and the City hire an auditor to review resource issues. <br /> <br /> Mr. Poling, seconded by Ms. Solomon, moved to extend the work session by five minutes. <br /> The motion passed unanimously. <br /> <br />Mr. Poling asked for a breakdown of the recommendations as follows: those that have been addressed, those <br />in the process of being addressed, and those which require major attention. City Manager Taylor agreed <br />that a ;;first impression" report can be provided to the council at its April 11 meeting. <br /> <br />Mr. Pryor agreed that the council must own the entire report. <br /> <br />Mr. Pap~ asked if the work of the Police Commission will dovetail with the actions taken by the council. <br />City Manager Taylor pointed out that the report encompasses only a small portion of the issues associated <br />with an affective, professional-standard accountability system that the Police Commission was currently <br />analyzing. Chief Lehner reported that the strategic planning process currently underway was timed to <br />coincide with several events. He said that the conclusions of the Police Commission's work that will be <br />completed in mid- to late-summer or early-fall will provide for a planning process which will be delivered to <br />the public in draft form and ultimately in final form to coincide with the 2007 budget process. Chief Lehner <br />reported that the action plan he will deliver to the City Manager on May 1 will include components (such as <br />an evaluation component) of the strategic plan which were subject to budget processes. <br /> <br />Mayor Piercy thanked the team once again for its exemplary effort in providing this report. She turned to <br />the community members and reiterated the commitment on the part of all parties to act upon this report. <br /> <br />The meeting adjourned at 1:35 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br />Dennis M.
